Chapter 286: Chapter 286 Let’s Go to the Research Institute 2_1

Mrs. Xia and Xia Jiehao couldn’t help but sigh, but ultimately they let her have her way.

"Just make sure to be careful, you know?" Mrs. Xia whispered in her ear, her words frantically hinting that she mustn’t do anything inappropriate.

"I know, mom, don’t worry, I’m not a kid anymore!" Xia Ningxing replied, embarrassed, and then quickly left the room with her cheeks burning hot.

After returning to her room, Xia Ningxing took out her brick phone and called Lu Tingli to let him know.

"Lu, I’ve convinced my family, so I can go with you tomorrow!" Xia Ningxing rolled around on the bed.

A hint of triumph flashed in Lu Tingli’s eyes as he replied in a gentle voice, "I understand. You should rest early, and I’ll come for you tomorrow afternoon."

Luckily, he hadn’t taken any anti-inflammatory medication, otherwise Baby Xing definitely wouldn’t agree to go with him!

"Okay!"

After wishing each other goodnight, Xia Ningxing tossed aside the brick phone and pulled the covers over herself, lying down in bed.

For some reason, her mind was unusually excited, with not a hint of drowsiness. She was both looking forward to and anxious about the temporary cohabitation that awaited them tomorrow...

At the other end, Lu Tingli looked at his injured leg and curved his lips in satisfaction.

This injury was worth it!

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have had the perfect excuse to coax Baby Xing to the research institute to accompany him.

The next afternoon, Lu Tingli had a subordinate drive over to pick up him and Xia Ningxing.

Before leaving, Mrs. Xia gave her all sorts of advice. Xia Ningxing, face flushed with embarrassment, quickly assured her and then hurriedly carried the big and small packages her family had prepared into the car.

The research institute in Capital City was located in the suburbs, over an hour’s drive away.

After they arrived, Lu Tingli’s subordinate helped carry Xia Ningxing’s luggage into the room.

His dormitory here was a standalone brick house with a small yard. The land was barren and not planted with anything, but it was unusually clean and tidy inside.

There were five or six rows of such standalone houses nearby, presumably where only core members or leaders of the research institute qualified to live.

In front, there were a few six-story e-shaped apartment buildings, probably the dormitories for ordinary researchers.

After putting down the things, Lu Tingli patted Xia Ningxing’s head and said, "Baby Xing, I have to go to the lab now, I’ll be back around seven in the evening."

"You go ahead, just be careful with your wound, and avoid any large movements to prevent secondary injuries," Xia Ningxing nodded obediently, expressing her concerns again.

"I will bear it firmly in mind!" Lu Tingli promised.

In fact, his leg wasn’t very serious; he could basically walk, but he just couldn’t engage in vigorous exercise.

Once he left, Xia Ningxing took her small suitcase and entered the bedroom next to his.

There was a bed and a blanket inside.

After tidying up a bit, Xia Ningxing prepared to make some food in the kitchen.

Once there, she realized the kitchen was completely empty, probably because Lu Tingli never cooked, so it lacked any food supplies.

There was a market not far from the research institute, so Xia Ningxing decided to go out and came back carrying a large load of groceries.

It was time to make dinner, and the wives from the family quarters were all heading out to buy groceries. When they saw Xia Ningxing carrying a large bag of items, their eyes widened in surprise.

My goodness, there was pork, beef, shrimp, fish, and more...

And some luxurious fruits like mangoes, cherries, strawberries... These were all more than ten yuan a pound!

Eating a pound was equivalent to two or three days’ worth of their spouses’ wages.

Such a spendthrift girl!
